Lotus Type 78 Ground Effect Icon

The Team Lotus Type 78, launched in 1977, was a turning point for Formula One aerodynamics thanks to its early ground effect solutions. This Tamiya 20065 kit recreates that engineering milestone in scale, letting hobbyists study the car's low monocoque and broad side pontoons designed to generate downforce. Piloted by drivers such as Mario Andretti and Gunnar Nilsson, the Type 78 showed how aerodynamic thinking could change lap times.
